Guide ruined the experience for us
Our 3-day Tour to Halong Bay started off great as we were picked up in a luxury van and a guide who immediately explained the trip and gave more information on Hanoi city. However, halfway through the ride we were changed to another bus that didn’t have enough space for luggage and legs. Also, the first impression of our new guide was bad. He didn’t greet us at all. It turned out it was’t just a first impression. Hang (name MF Tour guide) was more interested in his phone and cigarettes than explaining to our group what the itinerary was or giving us explanations. He was unenthousiastic and not interested in getting to know our group at all leaving us very disappointed. Ofcourse, Halong Bay itself is beautiful and the cave and Pearl Farm we visited were a great experience. The extra night on Cat Ba island was good, but if you’re rushed in time not a must! In conculusion, definitely book a Tour to Halong Bay as the nature is beautiful, but make sure you get a guide that is happy to be there too.

Best tour!
This is my first time on a cruise ship and I really had a great time. There were plenty of food available (as stated in the itinerary) and basic amenities were available on board. Staffs were friendly and they spoilt is with the delicious foods. Asian cuisines were served on board. We even learned how to make the fresh spring rolls. They really took good care of us and prepare food for us based on our dietary requirement (vegetarian / no seafood / no pork etc) which was great. I met alot of people on board and we have since become friends (there were about 12 of us). It was also interesting to visit the mysterious cave and pearl farm for the 3 days tour. Overall, it was a great experience! Please book this tour if you have plenty of time in Hanoi. Note: If you go solo, you might end up sharing room on the cruise and hotel in Cat Ba (which was not stated in the itinerary). I was asked to pay additional USD85 to the tour leader for privacy.
Response from the operator: Dear Mr. /Ms. Chong W, Thank you very much for your lovely review about your recent tour Halong bay and Cat Ba islands for 3 days with us. I am delighted to know that you had a wonderful experience with the tour and you so much enjoyed the prepared foods, tour progarms, highlights of Halong and Cat Ba island, the service provided by the staff and especially the customer care team of Charming Vietnam Travel. We are also sorry about arrangment of sharing the room with a stranger. But our guide told us that because he saw that two of you were very friendly with each other then he arrange the room for 2 of you. Your compliment is a biggest motivation for the staff to keep doing our good job and I will pass it on to them. On behalf of the team, thank you for your stay and we are looking forward to welcoming you back at the soonest. My best wishes, Bui Nam (Mr.) General Manager

3-Day Tour Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay Cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does 3-Day Tour Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay Cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $375 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3-Day Tour Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay Cruise take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.
Is 3-Day Tour Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay Cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3-Day Tour Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay Cruise?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3-Day Tour Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay Cruise suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3-Day Tour Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay Cruise?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3-Day Tour Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay Cruise start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hanoi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hanoi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 3-Day Tour Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay Cruise?
+
Included: Lunch; Dinner; Breakfast; and 2 nights on Cruise. Not included: Other meals. Drinking. Personal expenses. Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 3-Day Tour Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay Cruise include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 505 listed pickup locations in and around Hanoi. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time.
What languages is 3-Day Tour Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay Cruise offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 3-Day Tour Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay Cruise?
+

Is 3-Day Tour Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay Cruise wheelchair or stroller accessible?
